Power save m

odes

POWER SAVE MODESThe copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumptionthereby reduce the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conservenatural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two powersave modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.

� User programsThe preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have beenpreset at the factory to 90 sec. for preheat mode and 30 min. for auto powershut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It issuggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage ofthe copier. See page 36.

Preheat mode

When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE ( ) indicatorwill light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In thiscondition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level, therebysaving power. The preheat level is, however, high enough to allow the copierto come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after anykey input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.

Auto power shut-off mode

If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turnoff the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without anycopier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turnedon. The power switch will automatically be turned to the “OFF” position.To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the “ON”position.

POWER SAVE MODES

Setting the power save modes

The time that elapses before the copier enters a power save mode after anyoperation is made can be set manually. This time is set with user program No.2 for the preheat mode and user program No. 3 for the auto power shut-offmode. For these settings, see page 37.

� The copier will enter the preheat mode first and then the auto powershut-off mode after a preset time has elapsed when no copier operationhas been made.

� If conflicting settings are made with user programs No. 3 and No. 5, thelast program set will have priority.

Copying from the preheat mode

Make desired copier selections and press the START( ) key using the normal copying procedure.� When any key input is made or any other copier operation is made, the

POWER SAVE ( ) indicator will start to blink.� When the START key is pressed, the START key ( ) indicator will

go out and copying will start within 10 seconds. The POWER SAVE( ) indicator will go out when copying starts.
